[table][row][right][color=0072bc][h3][b]Einar[/b][/h3][/color]Lothian Empire || Garleton: Plaza || Evening[/right][/row][cell][color=0072bc]"Good choice,"[/color] Einar grinned, addressing the prince looking at the larger individual, raising an eyebrow as he shrugged, unconcerned about the discord sowed in the midst of the city, whether it be by the magic that lingered behind the fire or the assault of the brigands it didn't matter. What mattered was moving forward as he hustled with the rest of the group, passing by guards escorting commoners or fending off brigands, some commoners fleeing for their life or sobbing over a body that was unmoving as they were. However, the mercenary just kept moving ahead, in front of the others, though it was mainly due to the big dude shoving him. Honestly just made him laugh in his head, as he couldn't tell if the guy was just trying to use him as a meatshield or something; bit cowardly to him, especially with that armor he had on. But that didn't matter as the five of them arrived on the scene with little to no interruptions in the midst of the eye of the storm. It wouldn't be safe for too long as he studied the bandits, eyeing the small group of a bigger whole up and down as he tightly gripped his weapon, studying which one would be the first target to take down. His eyes drifted between the two archers, arrows nocked and bow wavering as their hands moved erratically between the five of them, focusing primarily on the dragon lady, the brigand brandishing an axe as he hefted it onto his shoulder before leveling it back with the ground with his hands. However, he had a much bigger target right now, though he didn't want to engage the man [i]just[/i] yet. Einar smugly smiled at the trio standing in front of their leader, leering and flipping off the brigand with an axe, mouthing dumbass as a taunt to lure him in. Despite these gestures as the leader and Alnard made their exchange, he couldn't exactly goad the peon into striking. [color=0072bc][i]"Hm, he either has a lot more self-control than I expected or is unsure to strike at us right now,"[/i][/color] he mused, wryly smiling at the group as he chuckled, blinking for a split second as the older bandit barked at the Prince, rolling his eyes. [color=0072bc]"By the way Alnard, nine times out of ten, bandits [i]won't[/i] negotiate,"[/color] he shouted, digging his feet into the dirt before giving a strong push forward, launching himself into the fray once the duo finished chattering, not giving the brigands the opportunity to strike first. From what he determined, the archers seemed to have their eye on the dragon, so that settled who his target was as he diverted to the side, hopping out of the way where the bandits axe would land when attempting to strike at him. It was like Einar wasn't giving him the time of day as the weapon clumsily slammed into the dirt, much to the bandits chagrin as he nashed his teeth in anger, only to get dirt kicked in his face by the mercenary. Not getting bogged down by that interaction, Einar saw the archers face contort and eyes widen as he approached, reading the fear written all over their wincing body. The bandit was in a panic and from what he noticed out of the corner of his eye, the [i]other[/i] archer was now aiming at him. Perfect. As soon as Einar was within a few meters of the archer to his right, he raised his sword up slightly, before digging his heels in and coming to a quick stop. What followed was just as he predicted; the mercenary watched as the arrow from the other archer whiz past his chest with another being shot directly at him, only to completely miss its mark as the arrow flew by his sword arm and embedded itself into a blazing building. The last thing Einar ensured the archer saw was his smug smile as he swiftly approached the man, holding his sword up above him. Before they could even react, the mercenary briskly brought his blade down, carving the bandit from his arm all the way down to his abdomen.[/cell][cell][img]https://i.postimg.cc/FHvr0y5G/untitled3.png[/img] [center]_________________________ Status: [color=B0FF37]This should be easy[/color] [/center][u]Class [/u] Page [u]Inventory [/u] Iron Sword Vulnerary [u]Experience [/u] 15/15 [u]Stats [/u] END: D STR: D MAG: C DEX: C SPD: D DEF: E RES: E LCK: E [u]Action [/u] Cutting down an Archer [u]Supporting [/u] Alnard ([@Sho Minazuki]) Branna ([@Typical]) Thom ([@Enalais]) Trace ([@Haeo])[/cell][/table]
